I love your AK morning Photopass pictures of all three of you! Sooooo cute!
Thank you! Turns out DD is great at posing for photos! Made that Memory Maker a must have from now on!
I am glad that you got to extend you trip after the hurricane!
I want to take the Minnie Vans just once. at least.. I am sure a lot of people were itchy to get out of there hotel rooms!We took another Minnie Van, which we were loving and we got to AK close to 8 AM and there was already quite a few folks waiting.
YUK-O!
Why do people need to be this way!?! It's just a ride, people relax!I know we lost two park days but let’s be civilized. I mean a woman actually pushed my stroller… I may have run over her foot soon after, but that is neither here nor there.
If it makes you feel any better. I watched the movie and still barely knew what I was looking at.We rode Na’vi which was cool, but since I had no context I had no idea what we were looking at.
E is a little cuddlier...
So cute! You should make this your annual pic!
This is my problem as well. I need to finish my report before we leave, otherwise I am going to blend them together.I stopped writing it and now I can hardly recall where we went or what we did.
So cute with both DUCKS!!!! Love.
Nothing cuter than the kissing Mickey's nose pics! Hope they clean that nose well!

Loved the Minnie Vans! It’s pricey, especially when a regular LYFT is like $5. But for the longer trips, like WL to AK, the $20 isn’t terrible and they have car seats for the kiddo. Plus they’re adorable!
YUK-O!
I know! I thought it was so weird that we just stood there after they opened the gates. Probably from the storm.
Why do people need to be this way!?! It's just a ride, people relax!
Exactly! Plus, for the cost of WDW I’m gonna do my best to be happy and enjoy myself!

Honestly, she’s really not generally. The face hugs became a thing during the trip. She loves taking pictures though, and she likes to “look cute” in them... I’m in so much trouble with her.
So cute! You should make this your annual pic!
That’s what DH said too!
This is my problem as well. I need to finish my report before we leave, otherwise I am going to blend them together.
You did it! Gives me hope for my own TR, lol!
So cute with both DUCKS!!!! Love.
It was such a treat!
Nothing cuter than the kissing Mickey's nose pics! Hope they clean that nose well!
I love staying in two bedroom villas. The full kitchen, washer, dryer and living room are great to have with families. Will it be just the four of you?
I totally forgot to schedule wake up calls for our trip. I need to do that this year.Good thing our buddy Goofy called, cause she woke right up for him!
May have to try this in the future. The bus worked well except for EMH morning. But DH loves the boat so we may just stick with it from now on!the boat to Contemporary was up and running!
Love it. It had been in my plans but it didn’t work out for us.As luck would have it Peter was out and still meeting guests!
Oh no. I don’t know what it is about Disney but I definitely felt nauseous a few times on our trip and I’ve read of a few others who’ve experienced this, as well!Thinking fast DH grabbed the ziplock I brought a change of clothes for DD in and handed it to me. I won't describe the rest.
Interesting! Will loved Barnstormer but was too short for 7D. This year he is all about trying 7D but I’ve been worried he won’t like it. But maybe I shouldn’t worry. I need a roller coaster partner!We did use our Fast pass for Barnstormer. Elora was not a fan, she said it “hurt her body” and wasn't fun like the Dwarfs, it would be out last ride on Barnstormer.
Love it!
Very nice!
I thought he was part of the parade? At least he was like 10 years ago...the last time I wa at Disney during Halloween. We are now booked for October 2018 and planning to do a party so I need to do some research!I woke Elora just as the The Horseman walked, thankfully, and Elora was blown away. She kept shouting “where’s his head?! What happened to his head?!” Elora must have asked me 100 times.
Nice!
Remember to check resale!We spent the ride talking about how great DVC is and how we gotta buy into it. They weren’t able to actually go into the cabins since they were being sand bagged in preparation for Iram’s visit. Mom is likely gonna out in a down payment in the new year. She has no idea where, or how many or anything. So we’re gonna chat about it when she visits us over her winter break. DH wants in too, but we won’t be able to swing it until after we buy our house up here, and a new car… adulting sucks.
I plan to do this one in the next few years.Food came out soon after and was AMAZING. Totally worth the wait.
Please explain the cleaning of the glasses.We took a bathroom break and DH stopped to have his glasses cleaned, which he loves doing.
We will do this in June. We missed it last year and there are rumors of its demise....I took DD to see the birds in the Enchanted Tiki Room
I really don’t like some of the interactive queues for this reason!All she wanted to do was play, and she would not leave!
Need to do this one!We crossed over to meet Donald next.
I was honestly really bummed. We were looking at two days confined to the hotel, no outdoor time, and then a flight home. Not how I wanted to do things.
How cool!On the way we saw that the Country Bears and Brer Bear were in our hotel!!! We stopped and played a minute, even DH came to meet us.
No shame, mama. I’d have done the same!I mean a woman actually pushed my stroller… I may have run over her foot soon after, but that is neither here nor there.
So cute!Stopped for an adorable photo shoot. This kid is such a ham!
I loved it in June!This place will be a favorite QS of mine for years to come.
Love the view! And I do have a fear of heights. But it’s worth it...especially at night!Kat took E on Astro Orbiter
The boys did this before our ADR in 2016.E danced with some of the performers
Same!We got seated in the smaller room to the left of the buffet.
You can say that again!That arena is really poorly designed.
Wahoo!We are officially booked for September 8-15th at a two bedroom Villa in Copper Creek!!
I just discovered your report and binge-read it while avoiding studying. I guess I'm coming in pretty late in the game, but better late than never! Your Elora is quite possibly the most precious thing I've ever seen! What a whirlwind of a trip this has been soo far!
I totally forgot to schedule wake up calls for our trip. I need to do that this year.
I only did it that one day, but looking back I wish I'd done it everyday. She was such a pain to get out of bed a few times, maybe a call from a friend would be helpful...???
May have to try this in the future. The bus worked well except for EMH morning. But DH loves the boat so we may just stick with it from now on!
It was a bit of a trek to MK, DH was not psyched to start the day walking, then be walking all day, lazy man. I think if we boat to Contemporary again we will take the Monorail to MK. It's just more fun! We avoided the bus to MK at all costs, lol!
Love it. It had been in my plans but it didn’t work out for us.
It was a nice little surprise meet and greet; we'd not planned to meet him, but he was there at the right time.
Oh no. I don’t know what it is about Disney but I definitely felt nauseous a few times on our trip and I’ve read of a few others who’ve experienced this, as well!
Interesting! Will loved Barnstormer but was too short for 7D. This year he is all about trying 7D but I’ve been worried he won’t like it. But maybe I shouldn’t worry. I need a roller coaster partner!
If he liked Barnstormer I'd say 7D will be fine! DD hated Barnstormer, but we rode 7D like 10 times. I think he'll love 7D.
Love it!
Very nice!
I thought he was part of the parade? At least he was like 10 years ago...the last time I wa at Disney during Halloween. We are now booked for October 2018 and planning to do a party so I need to do some research!
He is! He comes out like 10-15 minutes before the start pf the parade, weather permitting. This night it'd rained a touch, but it managed to clear up enough that he came out. I can't seem to do this party correctly though; we're skipping it this year. Research!
Nice!
Remember to check resale!
Too late! lol! Mom totally just bought it, outta the blue really.
I plan to do this one in the next few years.
Such a great experience! We're gonna do it again this year!
Please explain the cleaning of the glasses.
I really can't, lol! Just a weird quirk of DHs. There's a sunglasses store next to the bathrooms in Adventureland and he stopped so they could spray and clean his glasses. Every time we see a glasses store he stops for this.
We will do this in June. We missed it last year and there are rumors of its demise....
WHAT?!? I hope it's not taken down! It's an original attraction. Honestly, I didn't like it until E liked it, but I'd be really sad if they took it out; she really loves that song and sings it to this day!
I really don’t like some of the interactive queues for this reason!
It's a great idea, honest, kids need to be occupied but sometimes it seems to make things take a lot longer. I can't tell you how many times we stood in line and then suddenly moved forward like 20 feet cause someone was stopped playing in the queue.
Need to do this one!
SOOOO Cute! Both meets here were adorable.
THings turned around though! LOL!
How cool!
No shame, mama. I’d have done the same!
THank you! I just don't get that. We all paid the same price, planned ahead, calm it down!
So cute!
She is such a hambone.
I loved it in June!
It's really the best, and a great value, especially for paying OOP.
Love the view! And I do have a fear of heights. But it’s worth it...especially at night!
DH loves it too, I can't do it. I start to flip out. DH and I did it in 2012... Never again
The boys did this before our ADR in 2016.
It's a great little time waster, and they burn some energy before being sorta seated for a while. The performers here are incredible.
Same!
You can say that again!
Wahoo!
I definitely think it was dehydration and booze for me. If I’d had rich food I might have tossed my cookies too. Next time, I vow to drink more water in between booze!DH said he thought maybe I was dehydrated and then I had booze and rich food, which is not the norm for us at home. Either way, I wouldn't wish tyhat experience/feeling on anyone.
So fun! And yes, howdy neighbor!Admittedly, my mom is nuts. I mean who just decides to buy DVC? Then she emails me that I'm on the contract, so I have all planning abilities, and asks me to "see hwat it's all about." THank goodness for the DISboards I'd be so lost. And now we're neighbors!!
I definitely think it was dehydration and booze for me. If I’d had rich food I might have tossed my cookies too. Next time, I vow to drink more water in between booze!
I agree! THe heat and humidity down there are overwhelming, combine that with little water, booze and food, I was done. More water, more rest!
So fun! And yes, howdy neighbor!
Lunch was, ok. Nothing great, not terrible, but I don’t think we’ll go to this meal again. We loved dinner here, but the QS meals just don’t do it for us.
I did a tricky thing. I walked up to the fast pass area and had Elora scan her band. THe CM said there wasn’t a pass for Mickey and I played dumb; oh! We had a pass given to us, it should be on the band. WHat should we do? He let us right in! I know that’s not the right way to do it, but that’s what happened.
Mom went to get some mini dogs at Casey’s and said it was insane, duh mom, duh. LOL!
cried about missing Disney World and watched Aladdin. LOL!
I know I took forever to unpack.
